We were the first in North America to grow species such as Glossostipula concinna, Zinowiewia matudae, Lozanella enantiophylla, Weinmannia pinnata, Meliosma matudae, Cedrela salvadorensis, and Heberdenia penduliflora. Over the decades, the collection has matured into a realistic representation of cloud forest habitat.
The Silky Terrier dog breed exemplifies the expression âsmall dog, big personality.â Weighing just eight to 10 pounds when full grown, heâs tough and confident, perhaps because of his heritage as a hunter of small prey. Beneath the feistiness, however, is a loving companion dog who loves to stick close to his person.
Dewclaws are sometimes removed. The long, silky, single coat is 5-6 inches (12-15 cm) in length and comes in shades of blue with tan or red markings. The hair is parted down the center of the back. It has a topknot that should be lighter in color than the tan or red points. Silky Terriers are born black.
